Whoo! Fitness partners. I find exercise is so much more easy to join in with a group! Cause then you don't want to be 'the one' who doesn't show up ^_^ This is working out perfectly in my boot camp I'm in! /add
-
I do, but depends what type of work out i'm doing. I love Cardio, so any time I do Cardio, like Elliptical, Biking, Yoga, Pilates I eat on an empty stomach otherwise I feel weird. BUT If I'm doing strength workouts I have to eat something extremely small like a banana. If I eat anything more than that I will get sick. ^_^…

Haha! That's awesome :D Great job for being able to toss that in the garbage! :) Works wonders when you can start NOW and not later!

Ohhhh mygod, I love morning shakes. My Favorite that I just throw together in the morning, takes 5mins max Blackberries (1cup) Rasberries (1cup) Vanilla Soy Milk(1cup) 10 Ice cubes Honey (teaspoon is enough, just for flavor) Makes about 2 glasses for me, which I just put in my 2 work out bottles and throw them in my bag…

When you look in the mirror you see a different person than when you take a picture. - A lot of it is self image, you're so used to looking at yourself in a mirror (backwards) that when you look yourself a picture (straight forward) it confuses your brain and your brain is made out to think "That's not me!" Even though you…

Happy Birthday ^_^ I'd say this is a one off chance, drink whatever you like. - But for personal favorites depending on what you like: Beer: Fat Tire, Dos XX Mixed: Amaretto Sour (don't drink the Cosmopolitan :( Stick with Amaretto Sour) *Edit: The beer should be obvious but just as a heads up they are both an Amber Ale As…

You have water retention DURING your period. - As your Period might be ending, it's not over yet. Once it's fully over it will take at least 3days to lose all the water that you gained during that time. - That time of the month can make you gain anywhere from 5-10lbs, so I wouldn't worry about it to much! Just keep doing…

Triceps dips Get a chair or bench of some kind. Rest your palms behind you on the bench, legs extended in front of you and dip yourself down, using your triceps to pull yourself back up. If you need to ease into this you can bend your knees so that you're helping pull yourself up with the balls of your feet.

Oh man, you're making me hungry and I just ate breakfast! Chicken Steak Oatmeal Strawberries Grapes Apples Oranges Tuna (w/ Relish and Celery) Banana Granola bar Cherrios

Welcome to MFP! Calories tracked seems to be the best form of weight loss for a lot of people. I think you'll do superb being here counting those calories and working out! :) I find the gym is extremely hard to get up and go to. - I really want to buy some equipment for my house! That way I can watch TV or whatever I want…

Wow! You guys have Gold Gym's there? :) Nice! Best of luck! Sorry I'm in the US and plane tickets every day would get expensive :pp

You're defiantly NOT a failure just because you take longer to do something - you're simply working at your own pace. I'd remind him and yourself that everyone's body is different, and while he may have been able to find his place in the sun with 1 try, you're still looking for yours. Don't look at it as though you're…

^^ Macs are awesome. I'm sorry to hear about your laptop :( That really blows! Guess it would cost more to get fixed than it's worth. Fuuuuuu water damage!

Hahahaha Actually..I'm not much Tattoos, but I seriously approve of that! Being a gamer it touches me in the right place. <3 Mario

I don't plan specifically around the perfect amount of calories I'm going to spend on eat meal. - I just throw in my lunch box what I feel is healthy and make sure all together I have around 200-300cal left for dinner. :) Example today: Oatmeal Apple Orange Grapes Tuna Sandwich (w/ Relish and Celery) Beef Jerky Granola bar…

I think it's a good idea to count your walking in as your exercise. Even though it might be part of your lifestyle - that is the point of losing weight. You want to change your lifestyle to adapt exercise into it. - If you've already making walking a lifestyle choice then you're on the right path! Before I starting coming…

So far I've been able to get down 10lbs and then I stop. But so far I've been doing this for a week, lost about 4lbs and have not lost motivation! But I also have joined a Boot Camp so I can't lose motivation OR I'll die during boot camp days, haha.
-
I'd personally go with the doctors scale. Remember that all scales are different, and at that point it's not a matter of "which one is right" but "how do you feel in your clothes"? If you feel you need to lose more weight, keep going with the lowest lbs scale you have, that way you don't over do it. At your weight it…
-
I'd also love to know if anyone had suggestions :) Never hurts to tone up that area!
-
:D Heck yeah! Congrats on the amazing weight loss so far. You're almost half way to your goal ^_^
-
I know exactly what you mean. I used to think that all the time. Then there was a point in my life where I actually got down to what I considered my ideal weight! - 145, and now I know I can do it again :) I think there is always that "You know you can do it, you just have to try" And must like the last time I got down…
-
Wow, that sounds like a toughy! I wish you the best of luck :) I'm totally here for motivation and support!
-
^_^ Nice work! I'm so forgetful when it comes to calendars, since pretty much everything I do is on the computer, including work :x
-
I bring a ton of food to work. It will take sometime for your body to get used to it. Apples are amazing for a snack. - For snacks I bring: Grapes (x20) Apple Orange Strawberries (x3-4) (Extra: Parfait, I prefer strawberry - 250cal as this normally serves as a meal) And all that food only equals up to about 134cal - that's…

Sushi rolls are actually extremely decent in calories! Remember that there isn't a whole lot of rice on there. Normally white rice is about 150cal for a 1/2cup UNCOOKED, that's a loooot of rice if you're looking at it in Sushi rolls. You'd have to eat like 10 rolls :| - I'm pretty sure we can eat 1-3max Haha. Eat, and…

Being as you probably won't be using their scale every day or even every week. I'd look into getting a new scale! - The one I have is digital, and shows you XXX.X (I like the .X ;) ) -You can find them at walmart for pretty cheap. The one that I got was $20, and you can program it to track your weight for you, like a…
-
Nice! :) Congrats on your loss. I also look tasty healthy meals, but it always seems to be the same 3-4different dinners over and over. Haha, I need to find some more variety!
-
I prefer to weigh in every day - for some people like me, the scale provides me with the motivation I need to continue going. - Even if I don't lose a pound that day, or for a couple of days, it's nice to see that number has gone down since I started! Provides me with the "I've gotten this fair and I'm doing amazing! Keep…
-
Yay ^_^ Congrats on your huuuuge success! I'm so glad to hear you shed that weight like a champ!
-
Everyone is different :) I personally work out in the morning, but I can't eat before I work out or I feel nauseous, if I do eat it has to be something small like a Banana! - Some of my friends have other things that they can't eat before working out like Almonds, meat or eggs! I used to work out after work at around 8pm -…
